Snails and Slugs

The weather turned cold and damp overnight and as I walked along a farm road behind our barn I noticed hundreds and hundreds of small snails in the lawnmower clippings along the road.



These snails were only 1/2 inches long and all over the old lawnmower clippings.



One good thing about photographing snails, they don't move fast.



Both snails and slugs are classified as gastropods and love to eat flowers and vegetable gardens. One of the main differences between snails and slugs is the external shell on snails.



I did find some slugs but they were outnumbered by the snails at about 50 snails to each slug.
